Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! (: As a little girl I mostly dressed up as a witch, I was obsessed with Harry Potter growing up and still love the books. Inspired by all the pumpkins I see on porch steps I decided to make a Jack'o lantern bracelet. By next year I'll have this bracelet, and others like it, up in my Etsy shop, and possibly on here as well. 
Enjoy your night! (: Boo!

So It's Been A While

So it's been a while since I last got the motivation to post here... But I'm becoming more and more motivated by a certain handsome man in my life to start developing my small etsy business into something worthwhile. I've made a few new bracelets since my last post: a couple fireman inspired bracelets, a new American flag bracelet, a peacock inspired bracelet, and I'm working on a Jack o' Lantern bracelet. I'm not sure if I'll have the pumpkin bracelet up on etsy before Halloween but I'm going to try. I also have a Christmas tree bracelet pattern that I've made before that I'd like to put on my shop, along with a couple of other Christmasy types.

A new craft that I'm becoming obsessed with is wine bottle vases. I've made at least 8 and they are all sitting on my desk in my crafting room. I think they're beautiful and I'm hoping that my customers will agree (: 

I've also become hooked on crocheting! (: Two weeks ago I watched a Youtube video on how to crochet a double crochet stitch. So for the last two weeks I've been making scarves. The very first one was a mess-up. It's a cowl and it has a twist in it. The second scarf is a cowl that DOESN'T have a twist in it (: The third scarf I made is a small rectangular, rainbow patterned scarf. And the very last one is my favorite so far, it's a very long rectangular, teal scarf, which I finished today. Tomorrow or the next day I will post pictures of my latest crocheted creations. (:

Have a creative day!!
